My favorite nib.

This nib is very responsive to pressure.
Will make the line heavier or lighter.
Holds a lot of ink.

A good nib for flexible pointed calligraphy

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2019

Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Style: StenoVerified Purchase

This is a hard nib to master if you've only used pointed non-flexible or italic nibs before. I had to clean this 3 times with hot water, soap, spit, fire, and toothpaste before I could get a proper ink flow (Speedball SuperBlack ink). Even so, the flexible nature causes a lot of railroading or ink blobs if you're not careful and steady-handed.

My calligraphy has never looked so great now that I've (almost) figured out how to use it. It takes practice, but my letters have that thick-thin look that's normally associated with the spencerian or copperplate lettering. The tines don't spread as far as I expected so I won't be using this for large writing, but 0.5" tall letters work well for this nib. That's perfect for birthday and other handwritten cards (my primary use).

The price for this one is probably more than I should have paid. i realized later that I could get this nib cheaper elsewhere, but it's still a good nib and a classic one.

Very flexible, wonderful to work with.

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2018

These nibs have a lot of flex to them. They are great for larger lettering, or any time you just want a really wide stroke. The tines are soft, so a little pressure goes a long ways in terms of stroke width.
Most reviews also mention them being a bit iffy to start at times, most often with a thicker ink. I have found this to be the case, but if you put a little lateral pressure to one tine (pressing them together, not apart) I've found this will get it to start most of the time. Definitely one of my favorites.

Great Nib

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2022

Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Style: StenoVerified Purchase

This nib really seems to hold a ton of ink. I can write for several sentences before I run out of ink, which I love. I'm not a calligrapher, I just enjoy using a dip pen for writing in my junk journals. Highly recommend this nib. Just make sure you prep the nib by removing the oil from it before its first use and it will write like a dream.

Tip: this may sound gross, but using a little saliva on a tissue to gently rub the oil off the nib works great. You can also rub a little 90% alcohol on it. If you do not prep your nib, it will hold very little ink. And I find Sumi ink works wonderfully with the nib as well.

mixed. 2 out of three for me were broken( tips were twisted and wouldn’t go back into position )

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2022

Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)Style: RoseVerified Purchase

1 for the tips was bent out of the box and wouldn’t go back into position. 1 bent on second use and wouldnt bend back into position on something that’s supposed to be high flexible. i also used a little pressure as i could. the last one works good but if i didn’t have good paper it would bleed to a unreadable amount. this isnt my particular cup of tea but from multiple articles praising this product i assume its a lot of other peoples, i say that because it might be better for you. just keep them if they’re bad and return them. Also i’ve tried a lot of nibs from articles and realized that either you should just do your own thing because almost all that i bought from articles are awful for me.

Nib arrived with tines crossed, and it doesn't work

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2018

Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Style: StenoVerified Purchase

I wanted this nib to use with watercolor to sign my paintings. I didn't have occasion to use it after buying it, and it stayed in the package for quite a while. When I went to use it, I saw that the tines of the tip were crossed, and did not line up beside each other. They do split open when I press it on paper, but then go back to crossing over each other. Unfortunately, no matter what I do, it just won't write! The ink does not flow at all. Yes, I had lots of ink on it, and covered the holes completely with it. I have cleaned the tip, tried using watercolor, then tried it with ink. Nothing works. It won't start writing. It is quite a disappointment.

Still trying to get used to writing with these..........

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2021

Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)Style: HatatVerified Purchase

I learned to write in Arabic with reed pens which are much larger. I wanted to write smaller now that I know the alphabet and can put words together, so I found out I should use Hatat nibs. I am still having trouble writing from right to left with them. These are good quality nibs, so I suppose it is a matter of me getting used to holding the nib in a certain position. I find that the ink doesn't flow when I drag it to the left, where as with the reed pen I have no problems with the consistent flow of ink. I also can not make the nice clean angles even tho the nib is flat.

La cama de clavos es un juego que yo siempre quise pero ahora se lo pude conseguir a mi hija y yo recibí unas puntas para caligrafía Brause Rosenfedern que también había querido tener desde que empecé en este arte y están geniales se deslizan y son tan suaves excelentes para Copperplate. Nuevamente gracias.
